I absolutely did not; it’s one of the first image search hits when searching for “wasp typing on a keyboard meme”
As a pest control professional, I assure you that wasps aren’t trying to fuck you up. They get aggressive in the late season but for the most part they won’t fuck with you unless you are a threat. I’ve knocked down countless wasp nests with my brush and only been stung a few times. Those times I got stung I was really asking for it by how I went about it. They’re also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.

I hear that, I did some things accidentally once, but the stubborn judge insisted I go on the register anyway!
Last time I got stung by a wasp I was just standing on the street. Not a nest to be seen anywhere.
It came out of nowhere, stung me and got away. I stood there for a couple of hours after that and it never came back, not other wasp. So surely it didn’t care I was there, it just wanted to fuck with me for no reason.
European Wasps are an invasive species where I live and they’re fucking up a lot of the local flora and fauna. Also “wasps” is a huge group of species and they’re hard to generalise about
Sure, but you could say the exact same thing about bees. The point of the article is that most people see ‘wasps’ as being all bad, without the nuance that is afforded to bees.
Maybe this is hippie talk, but I simply don’t bother any animal. I don’t need an article to tell me they deserve to exist.
Sounds like Big Wasp propaganda
